LAST DAY, LAST CHANCE #baselitzrichterpolkekiefer • Here is another foto of one of our four artists of our current exhibition »Baselitz - Richter - Polke - Kiefer. The Early Years of the Old Masters«: we love this shot of Anselm Kiefer in his studio. What do you think? Get here today until 5 pm to see his art from the 60es! Fun Fact: In 1963 Kiefer made a tour by hitchhiking through Holland, Belgium, Paris and Southern France, where he lived and worked for some weeks on a farm near Arles. Well, guess which artist he was following there? Small hint: this artist often painted sunflowers, fields or the night sky above Arles. 🌻 • Anselm Kiefer in his studio in Karlsruhe between 1968 and 1971 Foto: Atelier Anselm Kiefer

LAST WEEK, LAST CHANCE #baselitzrichterpolkekiefer • »I am quite happy, that I don't see only black and white, but both at the same time.« Sigmar Polke describes himself in an interview in 1966 with these words as a versitale man. He managed to unite seemingly irreconcilable differences. On the one hand his paintings are accessible, unaffected and bold. One the other serious and destructive. Sigmar Polke was an unpredictable artist and he worked against all expectations. Forge your own opinion about Polke's work in our exhibition »The Early Years of the Old Masters« - only until this Sunday, August 18!
